Ned Nwoko has strongly criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging that the party leadership betrayed him after failing to fulfill a promise of an automatic ticket.
The senator representing Delta North previously defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC in early 2025, citing internal divisions and unresolved crises within his former party.
Speaking during a recent interview on Arise TV, Nwoko claimed he held discussions with former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje before joining the ruling party.
According to him, Ganduje allegedly assured him of an automatic ticket as part of the agreement that influenced his defection to the APC.
However, Nwoko expressed disappointment after political events later took a different turn.
He alleged that former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who later defected to the APC months after him, received preferential treatment and eventually secured the party’s senatorial ticket.
During the APC Delta North primary election, Okowa reportedly defeated Nwoko by a wide margin, polling 113,309 votes against Nwoko’s 2,612 votes.
Rejecting the result, Nwoko insisted that the primary election process was manipulated.
